FBL-WC-2014-CRO-OLIC-MEDIA-OFFBEAT

A woman views the daily newspaper “24 Sata” (24 Hours) showing photos of several Croatia’s players naked by their swimming pool in Brazil, at a bar in downtown Zagreb, Croatia, on June 16, 2014. Croatia international striker Ivica Olic slammed local media for the “shameful” publishing of photographs which showed teammates swimming naked at their World Cup base in Brazil, a local paper reported on June 16. Publishing of the photos sparked outrage from the players who decided to boycott all media duties leaving coach Niko Kovac to explain their decision. “Goli” means “Naked” in Croatian.
